Hi,

Does anyone have a clue if LXQt 0.11 will be available in Yakkety Yak (ubuntu 16.10) from day 1?

if not... any clue when will it be available?

(i'm on LXQt 0.10 and it works wonderfully, but i'm tired of waiting for the new version (LXQt 0.11) and it's goodies in 16.04.........)

Thanks

Lubuntu 16.10 will use LXDE and not LXQt.

Keep an eye on this blog (https://www.tsimonq2.net/blog/2016/08/13/) and this mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-devel)..

I installed the lxqt metapackage from ubuntu software store and i wanted to know when that metapackage will get updated to version 0.11, since now it's on 0.10... Do you (or anyone) have a clue about that?

You sound as if you are close enough to not miss when it is available :)

If you are interested in helping test it, there is this page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt) also.

I will repeat howefield's advice: monitor the lubuntu developers' mailing list for progress on LXQt's availability for Lubuntu via ppa or otherwise. More info here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-devel

hummmm... ok... thank you all for your advices and knowledge-share.

Since it is the developer's ppa it's better for me not to use it! Will wait for a more *stable* version (hope it won't take to looong)

Thanks :D
